Waving Through A Window lyrics - Katy Perry

(from "Dear Evan Hansen" musical)

I've learned to slam on the brake

Before I even turn the key

Before I make the mistake

Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare

No slippin' up if you slip away

So I got nothing to share

No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun

If you keep getting burned, yeah

Step out, step out of the sun

Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass

Waving through a window, oh

I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for an answer to appear

While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass

I'm waving through a window, oh

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me?

(Back at me, back at me)

We start with stars in our eyes (Stars in our eyes)

We start believing that we belong (We belong)

But every sun doesn't rise (The sun doesn't rise)

And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun

If you keep getting burned, yeah

Step out, step out of the sun

Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass

Waving through a window, oh, oh

I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for the answer to appear

While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass

I'm waving through a window, oh, oh

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

When you're falling in the forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

When you're falling in the forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

Did I even make a sound?

Did I even make a sound?

It's like I never made a sound

Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside, always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass

Waving through a window, oh, oh

I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for an answer to appear

While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass

Waving through a window, oh, oh

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me?

(Back at me, back at me)

Is anybody waving? (Is anybody waving?)

Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
